"Right then it's settled Jacob you and me are going underground looking for ores.Ryan you head to the east try to find a dungeon .Zak You try to find a Sky island. Are we all clear on what we're doing?"

Ryan simply replied "Toby when did we make you in charge?"

Toby thought for a second and came up with "Well if we all have copper items and we need better items then ores are important thus due to us having the most important job me and  Jacob are in charge!"

"Jacob and I" Zak Spoke in his general meek manner and as usual he went unheard



Ryan began his journey east through field that was once a forest a few saplings remnants of what once was before they arrived
Maybe one day the forest would return. These were the lonely thoughts Ryan pondered on his often lonesome journeys through this unusual land. 

It was only a week ago that they arrived here none of them new each other but soon they banded together through will of survival fear of death making friends or whatever they had managed to build a house well more a village nearby there point of arrival. Of course they would have known none of this if it weren't for Tanner resident guide and idiotic prick but he helped when he wasn't opening doors for slimes.

Speaking of slimes Ryan hadn't wandered far before he came across his first swarm of the gelatinous creatures. They burnt like hell if they could touch you as evidenced by burn marks on everyone. By now though the slimes were more of a nuisance then a threat. Ryan readied his spear it wasn't well made being bent at the shaft and blunt on the tip it was still better then the copper short swords everyone else carried around of course no one knew about the spear. 

He found them irritatingly stupid yet strangely cunning as he made a mental note to watch out for them. Zak wasn't strong willed he and wasn't brave honestly he seemed useless yet as they soon saw Zak could make exceptional structures. Now Ryan he was always a fighter he took kendo back home wherever that was but alas he knew how to wield a sword and other weapons to  good effect.

Once more Ryan realised he was getting lost in his own mind so he trudged on or rather he was going to before he was interrupted by a cry for help "That didn't sound like the others." he said aloud increasing in speed. As he got closer
he could make out a vague shape and could only think is that a unicorn?
